Acting Disaster Coordinator, Fitzroy Pascal has called on the public to be aware of a fake bulletin which is being circulated on social media indicating that a Tropical Wave is currently affecting Dominica.
“It is a cut and paste and changes in dates for a bulletin which was put out for Hurricane Beryl a few weeks ago,” he explained in a statement.
Pascal said the Office of Disaster Management (ODM) is calling on the general public to disregard the fake bulletin.
According to him, the Meteorological Service has already informed the general public on precautionary measures, stating that shower and thunder storm activity are expected to continue for the remainder of today.
Meanwhile, Pascal stated that the ODM and the Meteorological office will continue to monitor an area of disturbed weather located midway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
